What is BLOX Notifier?
BLOX Notifier is a messaging platform that streamlines the management and delivery of news and other content to multiple platforms at once within one application. When the latest News story breaks, instead of posting the content separately across different applications or platforms, BLOX Notifier completes the publishing workflow.
Effortless cross-platform content delivery
Each member of your audience is unique, with their own style of consuming news and entertainment, so it's important to be where they are and to utilize a multi-faceted approach with digital content delivery.
Managing content across platforms (or targets) can be time-intensive, but Notifier completely automates this process through smart Automatic Notification Rules. BLOX Notifier can manage content delivery for BLOX applications and Facebook.
Interface Overview
The BLOX Notifier interface consists of three panels:
Search Terms: This panel contains a number of filters that can be set to help locate push notifications that have been previously created.
Search Results: This panel is where push notifications that have either been sent or scheduled to be sent will be displayed.
Application Settings: This panel consists of a number of panels that contain settings and options for creating new push notification channels and establishing an API link between BLOX CMS and Facebook for pushing BLOX content to social media.
What platforms are supported?
BLOX Notifier Channels support the following platforms (or targets):
BLOX Email Reach: Email lists created within BLOX Email Reach are automatically available for targeting. Using Notifier means newsletter subscribers are no longer limited to Campaign Schedules or manual Single Run campaigns.
Push Notifications for Desktop: Push Notification Topics for desktop users are created directly within Notifier.
Note: Desktop push notifications are not supported on Safari.
Push Notifications for the BLOX Now mobile app: Topics for the BLOX Now app are created directly within BLOX Notifier.
Webhooks: Webhooks created in BLOX Settings automatically appear within Notifier for targeting.
Social Accounts: Integration with Facebook and Bluesky directly within Notifier.
Linked Channels on Associated Sites: When a site is configured as a hub, Notifier can send messages to channels on linked sites. These linked-site channels behave like local channels while using existing site-linking configurations behind the scenes.
